Abstract

A protective housing for an electronic device includes a main body, a protective cover, and a connecting mechanism. The protective cover is rotatably and detachably mounted to the main body by the connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a first magnetic assembly, a second magnetic assembly, and a mounting base. The first magnetic assembly is assembled within the main body, the second magnetic assembly is assembled within the mounting base. The mounting base is pivotally hinged to the protective cover, and the first magnetic assembly and the second magnetic assembly attract each other, thereby connecting the main body and the protective cover together.
